Re: Outpatient-Home Health Question

[Guest guest]

Tom, we on very rare occasions will do a home OP visit(s). The billing is

the same as for regular OP. (we are hospital based).

In AL, you can bill Part B for home tx if the patient is no longer homebound.

You (as always) just have to be sure the documentation is good, necessity

provided, esp with respect to WHY the patient is NOT homebound, but can NOT

drive in to the outpatient setting. The big ?? is (as said before) not

losing $$$ on PT end.
